Mainly since we started shrinking in November 2011 due to BK, there has been stagnation all over. Parked the ATRs, the 135s, most of the 140s, 30 145s to other carriers, etc. As a result, shrinking through attrition has caused long reserve and upgrade times.
As for what a person can expect in 4 years, well, there are more than a few opinions on here as to what to expect. I'll let them chime in. Look for a guy named RJ Pilot - he really knows his stuff and always wishes you good luck. Good peoples.
